Kamil Majchrzak vs Leandro Riedi — US Open 3R Preview
ATP US Open
Hard Court
3rd Round
Odds (avg, decimal): Majchrzak 1.65 – Riedi 2.24
🧠 Form & Context
Kamil Majchrzak (No. 76, 🇵🇱, 29)
- 🔥 Massive confidence boost: roared back from two sets down to beat Khachanov in 5 (snapped a 4-match skid vs him).
- 📈 Summer upswing: Challenger title in Grodzisk Mazowiecki → solid Winston-Salem wins (Jarry, Borges) → USO R1 over Dellien.
- 🧭 Comeback arc: back inside the Top 100 this year and tracking toward a new career high with this run (R16 at Wimbledon already in 2025).
- ⏱️ Workload watch: five-setter in R2; recovery and legs late in sets are the key variables.
Leandro Riedi (No. 435, 🇨🇭, 23)
- 🚑 Injury-plagued 12 months: ended 2024 after USO; returned May 2025 with a few retirements sprinkled in.
- 🌱 Breakthrough week: qualified, then d. Martinez (3–0) and stunned Cerúndolo in 5; five MD wins this tournament including qualies.
- 🧰 Upside + first-strike pop: raw ceiling is high; this is his first sustained main-draw surge at tour level.
- ⏱️ Workload watch: also off a draining five-setter; historically managing physical load has been tricky.
Head-to-Head: First meeting.
🔍 Match Breakdown
- ⚡ Physicality & recovery: Both survived grinds in R2; whoever replenishes better likely owns the deciders and tiebreak moments.
- 🎯 Experience vs ceiling: Majchrzak’s tour seasoning and Slam mileage offset Riedi’s superior peak ball-striking when hot.
- ♟️ Patterns: Majchrzak’s compact baselining and point-construction can nudge rallies deeper; Riedi needs to cash in early with serve + forehand.
- 🧠 Scoreboard pressure: If Majchrzak front-runs and keeps service games tidy, Riedi’s tolerance can wobble. If Riedi lands a high first-serve share early, he flips the script.
🔮 Prediction
Lean Majchrzak in a tight, momentum-swinging match. His recent run of reps plus the Khachanov comeback suggests he can problem-solve the big moments and manage the physical asks just a touch better.
Pick: Majchrzak to win (decimal ~1.65). Exact vibe: 4 sets, with at least one long set (TB or 7–5). Upset path for Riedi hinges on a hot serving day and keeping rallies short.
📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)
- Form trend: Majchrzak riding confidence from Khachanov comeback; Riedi peaking with first big Slam surge.
- Physical load: Both off five-setters; margins tilt on recovery.
- Experience vs upside: Majchrzak’s steady construction vs Riedi’s first-strike fire.
- Scoreboard stress: Edge Majchrzak in clutch moments; Riedi needs quick points.
- Surface fit: Hard-court baseline control vs streaky but explosive serving/forehand combos.
